"I don't have any," she said. Her own past was not as full of turmoil as Yaoke's, but it wasn't without its own sadness. "When we moved to the States, we had to pick up everything and leave within one night, so we only had time to pack the things that were most important. There weren't many photos of us as a family to begin with, and the ones that do exist are probably lining the streets of Montpellier." She said it with a stony face, rehearsed, but it was no secret that it made her feel empty regardless of how much she tried to hide it. "If its any consolation, the doctor who helped birth you seemed very concerned about you. He seemed to want to make sure you at least had a normal childhood," she said. She wondered what had happened to the doctor: if he had continued to help raise Yaoke, or if he had been killed as soon as his purpose was fulfilled.
